Uncataloged O Gauge RailKing Norfolk & Western ES44 Diesel Locomotive Announced
April 21, 2022 - M.T.H. Electric Trains has announced an exclusive and uncataloged RailKing O Gauge ES44 Diesel Locomotive in Norfolk & Western livery available from M.T.H. Authorized Retailer Train Loft this Fall. Item No. 30-20987-1 Norfolk & Western ES44 Diesel Engine With Proto-Sound 3.0 ABOUT THE GENERAL ELECTRIC ES44 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE If you’re a North American Class 1 railroad looking for a freight diesel today, there are only two main choices. EMD, newly independent and no longer a division of General Motors, offers the SD70ACe. The standard-bearer for General Electric, the top seller of road freight diesels, is the Evolution Series ES44AC. At the heart of the Evolution Series is a brand new prime mover, the four-cycle, 12-cylinder GEVO-12. While producing the same 4400 horsepower as its 16-cylinder FDL-series predecessor, the GEVO-12 uses less fuel and spits out 40% fewer emissions. GE claims the EVOs are "the most fuel-efficient, most environmentally friendly diesel locomotives in history." Everything about these locomotives has been examined, questioned, and re-thought, generating 25 new U.S. patents in the process. And every Class 1 railroad has ponied up to buy them, with the BNSF currently rostering the largest EVO fleet. The RailKing Imperial ES44AC comes accurately decorated in modern motive power paint schemes. Our near-scale model is a full 17" in length, yet operates comfortably on O-31 curves. Under the hood of the Proto-Sound 3.0 version is the same sound and control system found in our more expensive Premier model of this locomotive, with sounds recorded from the actual prototype. Additional Imperial features include operating diesel exhaust smoke and flashing ditch lights. If you're looking for realism and a lot of fun at a RailKing price, it doesn't get any better than this! EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE THRU The Train Loft |
